A few years ago, the planet Pluto disappeared by committee. Now, we find that the period from 6000-7000 years ago has also disappeared. Creationists will be thrilled!
As I reported earlier, the authoritative Joe Romm reports :
Major analysis finds “less ice covers the Arctic today than at any time in recent geologic history.”
This is stunning news, given that the Geological Survey of Norway has reported :
Less ice in the Arctic Ocean 6000-7000 years ago
This could be an effective strategy for getting the climate message across. Simply exclude any period of time which doesn’t suit the message.
h/t to Anthony for the article.
Nothing can beat the power of self-induced blindness.
This is stunning news, given that the Geological Survey of Norway has reported :
An article from two years ago (filled with caveats) that has probably been featured on WUWT already last year (like with those Alfred Wegener guys measuring Artcic sea ice thickness from a plane) and probably will feature again on WUWT next year if extent goes below 5 million square km.
It was more than just the Arctic. A flurry of reports about the period 5-7 Kya convinced me to write http://wermenh.com/climate/6000.html
